脢

An anatomical term for a specific portion of an animal carcass—typically cattle, sheep, or pigs. It generally denotes the upper back, the shoulder/scapula region, or the rump/haunch; in texts concerning ritual sacrifice or butchery, it identifies a particular offering or portion.

Exclusively a noun. Often appears in ritual lists alongside other specific cuts such as 肩 (shoulder), 胛 (scapula), or 臀 (rump).

Avoid rendering this as "flesh" or "meat." If the text does not provide further anatomical clues to distinguish between the shoulder and the rump, "upper back," "haunch," or "shoulder" are more accurate approximations than any generic term for tissue.
